Roger Waters : New Album Blocked In Italy Over Copyright Claim

The release of Roger Waters’ new LP, Is This the Life We Really Want?, has been temporarily blocked in Italy after an Italian artist claimed the cover art plagiarizes his work, The cover, which features a body of text redacted with black ink, leaving only the album title, copies his trademark “erasure” technique.

A Milan judge temporarily blocked the album’s digital and physical sales ahead of a hearing on June 27.
